How should I set realistic quotas?
Base quotas on historical data, market benchmarks, and business goals. Consider factors like seasonality, product launches, and economic conditions. Start with achievable targets to maintain team motivation.
Can I use this for non-monetary quotas?
Yes, but you'll need to convert units to a monetary value or adjust the formula. For example, if tracking units sold, set the quota in units and actual in units, then interpret the percentage attainment similarly.
